For landlords and businesses

Toilet chip repair in Albourne without replacing anything

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, we can normally put it right.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes an hour or two, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

FAQs for Albourne

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Albourne. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

If you’re in Albourne and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
